Supplicate generally throughout your fasting day, and supplicate generally before the maghrib azan comes in and before you start eating.

Are the “Shia Ali” Mentioned in Surat al-Bayyinah in Tafsir al-Tabari?
A hadith is often quoted in tafsir surat al-Bayyinah ayah number 7 that "the best of people" refers to Ali and his "Shi'a," or group. Imam al-Shatibi (rahimahu Allah) addresses this in his tafsir. This hadith is fabricated according to the agreement of the scholars. Sheikh ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahu Allah) also addresses this in depth from six aspects, quoted below.
Al-Asma’i and the Greengrocer
I was in Basra, seeking knowledge, and I was poor, and at the door of our alley there was a grocer who, if I went out early, would say to me: Where to?" I would say "to so-and-so the hadith scholar." If I came back in the evening, he would say to me, โFrom where?โ I would say, โFrom so-and-so historian or linguist."

Taking a Murshid (Guide) To Allah Most High in Sufism
In Sufism, as in any other Islamic discipline, be it jurisprudence (fiqh), Qurโanic recital (tajwid), or hadith, a disci- ple must have a master or sheikh, from whom to take the knowl- edge, one who has himself taken it from a master, and so on, in an unbroken series of masters back to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) who is the source of all Islamic knowl- edge. In Sufi tradition, this means not only that each sheikh has met and taken the way from a master, but that the master during his lifetime has explicitly and verifiably authorized the sheikhโ whether in writing or in front of a number of witnessesโto teach the spiritual path as a fully authorized guide (murshid maโ dhun) to succeeding generations of disciples.
The Prophet Muhammad’s ๏ทบ Sermon on The Virtue of Knowledge
Acquire knowledge, for surely it leads to fear of Allah. Seeking it is an act of worship (โibadah); studying it is praising Allah (tasbih); searching for it is jihad; teaching it to whomever doesnโt know it is an act of charity (sadaqah); and delivering it to those worthy of it is an act of drawing closer to Allah (qurbah).
